Training activity: 2

Details

Shadow and reflect on the role of Clinical Scientists working with:

• MRI
• Ultrasound
• Optical radiation

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Consider elements of the roles, including:
  • How Clinical Scientists support patient care
  • The range of responsibilities within the team(s)
  • How Physicists in Non-Ionising Radiation work with other specialties within Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering
  • The role of quality assurance in delivering a safe and effective clinical service
  • Safe set up and use of equipment and basic QA
